Wow thats pretty Cool Bugman You shuld make a colorthemed Defualt set up puppy. Id personaly would love to see a Soft Dark iceblue version of that._________________~Puppy Linux~ Where mans best friend becomes PCs best friend

I'm only smart enough to rip off themes I already like (Tribal Widow in this case), too dumb (or lazy) to fully publish new ones. There's some trick to getting them fully in there that I haven't looked into.

The only hing I sweated over was the pager. Possibly because I'm not fully used to the idea of multiple desktops yet, even though I'm starting to like it. But getting the colors (shades of gray, black and white) to mean something is not easy.

Back up a theme, copy-paste this stuff in, change the blacks to blues and you're good to go. I made custom icons for some docs I use daily in mtpaint, easy enough to do.

Hey You should make a Howtoo for this unique theme you built. Its really cool and different from the rest you always see (trying to look like another OS for instance Which im guilty of)_________________~Puppy Linux~ Where mans best friend becomes PCs best friend

Ah, I would not presume to write a how-to, as I have been using Linux full-time for all of a week and cannot do more than edit the themes of others at this point.

It's all very personal for me--I am conducting an experiment to reduce things in my life to their bare minimum. I got rid of my car. I eat the same $1.50 worth of food every day. My last music recording project consisted of six hours of the sound of my computer fan. I have sold off all of my books and records (the last was like ripping my heart out). I kicked Bill Gates out. I kicked him again, and again (then I woke up)...

So the black desktop is just an attempt at personal consistency.

Actually, I would make the icons and foregrounds completely black (instead of very dark gray) if I could see them better. I have to cheat to compensate for fading eyesight.

I meant to say the active backgrounds that are very dark gray due to encroaching blindness. My hearing is shot to hell too--editing 6 hours of computer fan noise at maximum volume with headphones was possibly a mistake...

Ive been thinking about becoming a minimalist..........It scares me >< Living life to the saying I rather have and not need then need and not have its a hard change.

ABout the Howtoo I made one on how to XP your menu and icons it was simple took me half hour. I just made it all drag and drop stuff i made a menu the icons and jsut told pple where to drag them too._________________~Puppy Linux~ Where mans best friend becomes PCs best friend

With a special thanks to MU, I have able to incorporate Torsmo to the desktop. I have long sought simplicity and used black backgrounds with Windoze. Newly inspired by Bugman, I have modded IceWM to yield this look.
